AEP offering free seasonal flu shots

Take the first steps to a healthier you! Protect yourself from the flu this season. AEP is offering free seasonal flu shots to eligible retirees, retiree spouses and surviving spouses who are covered under an AEP medical plan. You can receive your free flu shot during an AEP-sponsored health screening/flu shot event at a participating AEP work location. Please call the AEP Wellness…Energy for Life customer service line at 1-877-237-3833 (option 1) or contact a Regional Wellness Coordinator in your area to determine if a work location closest to you is offering flu shots to retirees. Contrary to prior communications, flu shot vouchers will not be available to retirees this year.

You do not need an appointment to receive a flu shot at a participating AEP work location. When you arrive at the health screening/flu shot event, please inform the desk attendant that you are a retiree of AEP and want to receive a flu shot. You will be asked for your AEP Medical Plan member ID card and identification. Please note that flu shots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Retirees are not eligible to participate in the full health screening event.

If you have questions about whether you should get a flu shot, consult your healthcare provider.

If you cannot attend an AEP-sponsored flu shot event, you can get a flu shot through your regular in-network healthcare provider or an in-network retail health clinic at no cost under the preventive provisions of the AEP Medical Plan. You should first check your medical carrier to locate a participating provider or retail health clinic.

If you have questions or concerns please call the AEP Wellness…Energy for Life customer service line at 1-877-237-3833 (option 1) or the Regional Wellness Coordinator in your area (below).
